Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 10, 2016 - Nose is primary & big, with smoked meat, animal smokiness, dark ripe fruit, blue and black berries, cassis, young oak, oriental spices, violets, licorice and freshly ground white pepper.
Palate is undeveloped, very dense, rich and big.
Loads of power, fat dark fruit, ripe plums and black berries, oak spices and herbs.
Popped approx. 4 hours before dinner and followed while it sat in the decanter.
Opened up nicely, and was quite enjoyable, if of course young, when served.
Loads of big fruit and concentration, good and grippy tannins, still with a silky structure, long and big finish.
Will need time to develop secondary nuances, but has a good potential to become a very fine vintage of this wine.
One of the better recent vintages of this bottling I have enjoyed.
(93 – 95+)
